هَذهْ كَريمةُ آلِ عَكَّاوي مَضَت

أَسَفاً فَأَجرَت كُلَّ عَينٍ بِالدَّمِ

This noble lady of the Akkawi family has passed

Alas, making every eye shed tears of blood

لَحِقَت بِطَنُّوسَ ابنِ نَصرٍ قَرينَها

فَتجاورا بِحِمَى النَّعيمِ الأَعظَمِ

She has joined Tanios son of Nasr, her companion

So they dwell together in the abode of greatest bliss

قَد فارَقَت هَذي الحَياةَ وَغادَرَت

في النّاسِ ذِكرَ فضائلٍ لَم تُكتَمِ

She has left this life and departed

Leaving behind virtues in people unconcealed

وَلِأَجلِها كَتبَ المُؤرِّخُ أَسطُراً

يُهدى بِها بُشرى الخَلاصِ لِمريَمِ

And for her sake the historian has written lines

To give the good news of salvation to Maryam
